Daily drivers around here are 4 x 4 pickups and their value has not been affected by scrap prices. Trailer prices have not been affected either to the best of my knowledge. Agricultural commodity prices are also low so everyone here is sitting on metal, used equipment, and most corn or soy beans are in bins. Older cars will serve as wind breaks until the price improves. This has been a common strategy since the 1920's here and it is not about to change in this generation. When prices improve, some individuals might be willing to part with their wind breaks, but usually you have to wait for a farmer to retire before they are willing to part with their valued steel.
